Everybody’s talking about it. Should I get it? Should I give it to my children?

Vaccinations have always been a controversial topic. But this specific flu shot raises even more concerns.

Have you noticed the hype? The urgency with which you are being encouraged to get “The Shot”? Even kids are being encouraged to do so. Here’s a public service announcement directed at children. Jim Henson was on board to create this fun looking ad:

A good friend of mine, Dr. Jeff Hazim, is hosting a web seminar to help you decide whether or not to get the flu shot. I always learn a great deal from him; check it out! Info is below; follow the link to register.

The relentless PR campaigns from the US government, the medical/ pharmaceutical industry, and the mainstream media, claim Swine Flu (H1N1 influenza virus) is an epidemic, and advocate vaccine shots as an almost mandatory social responsibility.But what you choose to inject into your body and the bodies of your children is a highly personal decision, and should be determined through significant education and forethought, and not because of news hype and psychological pressure.Like pretty much everything in life, there is more than one-side to the story, and (believe it or not) the general public is not being told everything we genuinely need to know.

Join Dr. Jeff Hazim and vaccination expert April Renée for a live 60+ minute online seminar as they separate health fact from media fiction.

I have read many people’s testimonies stating that, in their area, their doctors have been told to assume that any flu-like sickness is in fact H1N1(known as “Swine Flu”). That H1N1 testing has been suspended due to high cost, and that with the cost being high, it would be a waste to do such testing since it’s probably H1N1 anyway.

Something’s not right about that.

Below is a clip from CBS. It’s an investigative report on the number of cases being reported.

According to the CBS News study, when you come down with chills, fever, cough, runny nose, malaise and all those other “flu-like” symptoms, the illness is likely caused by influenza at most 17 percent of the time and as little as 3 percent! The other 83 to 97 percent of the time it’s caused by other viruses or bacteria.

In the same vein of my last post-posting what I can instead of waiting till I can do more, I share this video with you. I want to do more on vaccines, more on swine flu, more, more. But, I can’t right now, and I’m okay with that (yeah, right!)

Anyway, I thought this was interesting. Look for more like these to come, too.
